The impact of crime prevention on commercial burglary in a section of Portland, Oregon is assessed.
Abstract
Using time series analysis, and a control area for comparison, some of the problems of previous crime prevention research are addressed. The results of the study discussed show that not only was there a significant reduction in commercial burglary, but the effect persisted. Several rival hypotheses which could explain this reduction are rejected and suggestions for future research are offered. (Author abstract)
